A Clue for Greg

In re your question... [More]

This might be a pretty good time.

Obama could cut Russian ammo imports as response to Ukraine crisis

“No he won't,” Vanderboegh replied, “he'll take the Clinton way out -- do nothing about the larger issue but he'll cut off our access to Russian ammunition just like Clinton cut off our access to inexpensive Chinese ammo in the 90s, to ‘punish them for human rights violations.’" [More]
Today’s Gun Rights Examiner notes a time-proven technique: Punish gun owners for something they bear no responsibility for.

China train station knife attack illustrates helplessness of unarmed victims

Not unexpectedly, even in China, disarmament of those who refuse to comply is a pipe dream. And when terror strikes, the "law-abiding" are left to run, hide, scream, fall, bleed out and die until "authorized" armed responders show up on scene. [More]
Today’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes the gun control train has left the station, leaving piles of dead and injured in its tracks.

UPDATE to NRA Opposing Surgeon General Nominee Story

I just added this update to yesterday's GRE:
UPDATE -- per Emily Miller at The Washington Times:

A spokesman for the NRA told me that the five-million member organization will score the Senate vote, meaning that it counts toward a member’s rating in campaigns.
Why the letter and announcement did not say so, and why NRA's media office did not answer that question when asked and did not call back with an answer is unknown. When and if a reply is received or a clarifying statement is issued, it will be noted here.
Second Update:
UPDATE: NRA sent out a "Grassroots Alert" email this morning about their Murthy opposition, and again say nothing about scoring the vote, including in the complete alert posted on the ILA website.

NRA opposition to Surgeon General nominee lacks credible deterrent

That’s why it’s unfathomable why NRA did not indicate it would score a vote for Murthy against the NRA grade for any Senator helping to confirm him, just as it did against during the nominations of Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. [More]
This evening’s Gun Rights Examiner report notes bad behavior rarely improves without consequences to discourage it. That’s true with pets, with children, with criminals, and especially with politicians.
